It is a scorching day today, with the temperatures in the 90's for the past few days. So when I was looking at Alisa's site with whom I am partnered this month for Taste and Create, this refreshing drink

immediately caught my attention. I had a huge watermelon at home, after stuffing ourselves with the melon, we had a little leftover. I made this simple yet refreshing drink perfect for a hot summer day!!

Before heading over to the recipe, I ask you to go and check out Alisa's recipes. She has an amazing blog and has also released her own cookbook. Her recipes are mostly vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free! I have also tried a few more recipes from her blog! They will be posted here soon!
Now coming to the lemonade recipe,
You need
Seedless watermelon chunks - about 6 ounces. I used about 2 cups of watermelon cubes.
Fresh lemon juice - 1/4 cup
Agave nectar - 3 tablespoons.I replaced this with 3 tablespoons of honey
Cold Water - 3/4 cups
Icecubes
In a blender add together, the watermelon chunks, lemon juice, honey/agave nectar, cold water and pulse until smooth. Fill two large glasses with the lemonade and icecubes.
Garnish with lemon slices/wedges.
It is that simple! Simple yet exotic!

Sending this to FIL:Fruits

What perfect timing! The watermelons are ripe in the garden, there is an abundance of lemons and it is going to be over 100 AGAIN today!Going out to get the watermelon so it will chill in the fridge!!Thanks...have a great day :)
